Asked in Premeth Test 10 — Gases

In gases and liquids, temperature is the measure of_kinetic energies of molecules.

Correct answer: A. Average translational

  • A. Average translational
  • B. Rotational
  • C. Vibrational
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. For gases and liquids, this primarily relates to the translational kinetic energy-the energy associated with the movement of molecules from one place to another

About Gases

Gas behaviour is explained through the kinetic molecular theory and the relationships among pressure, volume and temperature. Work includes STP, Boyle's and Charles's laws, absolute zero, the ideal gas equation, and the distinction between ideal and real gases, especially the effects of intermolecular forces and molecular volume.
